Editorial Review: Product Description: Where were games like Backyard Football 2002 when we were kids? This latest addition to the award-winning series may have colorful cartoon graphics, a bumping soundtrack, and lots of squeaky voices, but underneath is a football game so fun and detailed that it can actually teach children about the sport. You can click a single button to immediately get a random pickup game going, but the real fun is in the single game and season modes. In the single game, you get to choose a field to play on, set the weather conditions, and decide what rules you want to use. Then you pick your team from a bench full of imaginary and real world players, each rated in a variety of statistics like passing, catching, and kicking. The season mode offers even more depth, letting you draft a team and lead them all the way to the championships, tracking their stats, trophies, and standings along the way. The game mechanics are simple enough for kids to learn but offer a surprising amount of depth for those who practice. For passes, just click the spot where you want the ball to end up. To move while running, click the spot you want the player to turn towards. To switch players, click the player you want to control.

Once the basics are mastered you can learn some advanced tricks, like tapping the mouse button to throw a pass with a high arc versus holding the button down to throw a frozen rope. You can lead your receivers, perform fake punts, put specific players in specific positions for every play, and do just about everything else the big-boy simulations do, and a narrated tutorial lets you practice before taking your skills onto the field.

 Rating:  - Fun but go with madden or primetimeThe playbooks in this game are the BEST. But no season mode and limited replay value make this game no fun after a few months. But an online mode may extend life for a while longer. You should rent this game because you'll get a lot out of it but won't waste money on something that you wont play after a few weeks Rating:  - This is the best sport game ever!!!This game rocks because even they are kids they can still play like real profecional players. This game has cool animations and worth it if you'd buy it. I think this game is better than any other football games. I wish that they should create another cool version for backyard football 2002. Rating: - I love it!I got Backyard Football right before Christmas of 2002. Over Chritmas break I played it constantly.My parents couldn't pull me away. I even ate meals while I played it! It's a really fun game. I also have Backyard Basketball witch I would give four and a half stars. Rating: - Fun, but I can't figure out whyIt's true. This is the best football game I've ever played. It beats Madden and NFL 2K and Gameday and such. It's a bunch of kids playing football. Duh. It's so good, it's indescribable. But I'll try. Season mode is great. Pick your seven kids, and go though a season. Simple as that. That's another great thing: This game is so simple, a 3 year old who can't even remember his name could do this easily. I figured it out in a day, and, by the end of the first week after I bought it, my Seahawks ... Read More Rating:  - Very good, with a few acceptionsI think Backyard Football 2002 is great. The grafics are good, it is somewhat realistic and it is funny. The one problem is the characters that they put in the game. First, there aren't enough players in the game. I think it should be like Backyard Baseball 2003 where there is at least one player from each team. Another thing is there are too many pro quarterbacks and not enough pro defensive players and wide receivers. What about Charles Woodson, Jerry Rice, Keyshawn Johnson, Terrell Owens ... Read More |
